Answer Key

Part 1 - Read the short passage and answer the following questions. (5 Points)

Many people like to eat pizza, but not everyone knows how to make it. Making the perfect pizza can be complicated, but there are lots of ways for you to make a
more basic version at home. When you make pizza, you must begin with the crust. The crust can be hard to make. If you want to make the crust yourself, you
will have to make dough using flour, water, and yeast. You will have to knead the dough with your hands. If you do not have enough time to do this, you can use
a prepared crust that you buy from the store. After you have chosen your crust, you must then add the sauce. Making your own sauce from scratch can take a long
time. You have to buy tomatoes, peel them, and then cook them with spices. If this sounds like too much work, you can also purchase canned sauce from the
store. Many canned sauces taste almost as good as the kind you make at home. Now that you have your crust and your sauce, you need to add the cheese. You
might want to buy cheese from the grocery store instead of making it yourself. When you have the crust, sauce, and cheese ready, you can add other toppings.
Some people like to put meat on their pizza, while other people like to add vegetables. Some people even like to add pineapple!
